What does increased cortical echogenecity mean?
Increased cortical echogenicity on an ultrasound of the kidney usually indicates a medical condition affecting the kidneys, such as acute or chronic kidney disease. It may suggest scarring, inflammation, or changes in the tissue density within the kidney's cortex. Further evaluation by a healthcare provider is usually required to determine the underlying cause and appropriate management.
Which vessels supply the cortical tissue of the kidney with blood?
cortical radiate arteries
What is a cortical defect of the kidney?
Coil
What is cortical defect of the kidney?
Coil
What does a mean cortical thickness of 20 mm in kidney ultrasound mean?
normal kidney measurements
What are nephrons called if they are located mainly in the cortex?
Cortical nephrons are located mainly in the cortex of the kidney. They have shorter loops of Henle that mainly dip into the outer medulla. These nephrons are responsible for most of the kidney's filtration processes.
What are renal cortical cyst?
Renal cortical cysts are fluid-filled sacs that form on the outer surface of the kidney. They are usually benign and do not typically cause any symptoms. Renal cortical cysts are common and are often discovered incidentally during imaging tests for other reasons.
What condition is characterized by generalized cortical atrophy in the kidney?
Generalized cortical atrophy in the kidney is typically associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD). This condition leads to the gradual loss of kidney function over time, resulting in the atrophy of the renal cortex. In CKD, various underlying causes such as diabetes, hypertension, or glomerular diseases can contribute to the deterioration of kidney structure and function. Ultimately, this atrophy may lead to complications such as electrolyte imbalances and the need for dialysis or kidney transplantation.
What blood vessel of the kidney in which glomeruli are scattered in the tissue on one side but not on the other side?
I think it's the cortical radiate artery.
As venous blood is drained from the kidney what path does it follow?
cortical radiate veins, arcuate veins, interlobar veins, renal vein
What is a column of Bertin in the kidney?
A column of Bertin is a normal anatomical variation in the kidney where there is an extension of cortical tissue between the renal pyramids. It appears as a vertical ridge on the surface of the kidney and is considered a harmless variation.
What is cortical nephrons?
the cortical nephron is another type of nephron which has shorter loop of henle extended in medulla region. it has no proper function but it works like as ultra filtration etc as juxta medullary nephron perform but juxta medullary has proper function.
